applications is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a
part of this specification.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
Field of the Disclosure
[0002] The disclosure relates to a display, and particularly to a
display apparatus utilizing a micro light emitting diode (LED).
Description of Related Art
[0003] With the characteristics of light emitting diode (LED), a
display apparatus that utilizes a micro LED has the advantages of
low power consumption, high brightness, color saturation, fast
responding speed and power saving. Moreover, the display apparatus
is superior in material stability and non-image sticking.
Accordingly, the display technology of display apparatus that
utilizes micro LED display receives considerable attention in the
field. Specifically, it is an important issue to find out how to
improve the resolution of the display apparatus that utilizes micro
LED display.
[0004] The display apparatus includes a substrate and a plurality
of LEDs disposed on an active device substrate. The active device
substrate has a reflective structure such as active element, scan
line, data line, capacitor electrode and so on. Under the condition
of light irradiation from an outer environment, the reflective
structure of the active device substrate reflects the light from
the outer environment. The reflected light from the outer
environment interferes with the light emitted by the LED chip and
affects the display effect. Therefore, it is also an important
issue in the field of display apparatus to explore how to improve
the display effect affected by the light from the outer
environment.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0005] The disclosure provides a display apparatus having high
resolution.
[0006] The disclosure provides a display apparatus having an
excellent display effect.
[0007] The display apparatus of the disclosure includes a
substrate, a plurality of active elements, a plurality of first
signal lines, a plurality of second signal lines, a plurality of
ground signal lines and a plurality of light emitting diodes
(LEDs). The substrate has a plurality of pixel regions. The
plurality of active elements are disposed on the substrate. The
plurality of first signal lines and the plurality of second signal
lines are disposed on the substrate and electrically connected with
the active elements. An extension direction of at least one first
signal line is different from an extension direction of at least
one second signal line. The plurality of ground signal lines are
disposed on the substrate and arranged to be alternated with the
first signal line. The plurality of LEDs are disposed on the
substrate. At least one LED has a first electrode and a second
electrode. The first electrode of at least one LED is electrically
connected with a corresponding active element. The second electrode
of at least one LED is electrically connected with a corresponding
ground signal line. At least two LEDs disposed in the same pixel
region are electrically connected with the same ground signal line
between two first signal lines adjacent to each other.
[0008] In the disclosure, the display apparatus includes a
substrate, a plurality of LEDs, a first insulation layer and an
anti-reflection conductive layer. The substrate has a plurality of
sub-pixel regions and a plurality of reflective structures disposed
in the plurality of pixel regions. The plurality of LEDs are
disposed on the plurality of pixel regions and electrically
connected with the substrate. The first insulation layer is filled
between the plurality of LEDs. The anti-reflection conductive layer
is disposed on the first insulation layer. The reflectivity of the
anti-reflection conductive layer is lower than the reflectivity of
the reflective structure. The anti-reflection conductive layer
blocks the reflective structure of the substrate and has a
plurality of openings. The openings expose a light emitting region
of the LED.
[0009] Based on the above, in the display apparatus according to
one embodiment of the disclosure, at least two LEDs disposed in the
same pixel region are electrically connected to the same ground
signal line between two first signal lines adjacent to each other.
Accordingly, the area of the substrate of the display apparatus can
be used efficiently, thereby realizing the display apparatus having
high resolution.
[0010] In another embodiment of the disclosure, a display apparatus
includes an anti-reflection conductive layer. The reflectivity of
the anti-reflection conductive layer is lower than the reflectivity
of the reflective structure of the active device substrate of the
display apparatus. The anti-reflection conductive layer blocks the
reflective structure of the substrate. Since the anti-reflection
conductive layer blocks the reflective structure of the substrate,
most of the light from the outer environment irradiating to the
display apparatus is blocked by the anti-reflection conductive
layer and cannot be not easily reflected by the reflective
structure of the substrate having high reflectivity. As a result,
little amount of light from the outer environment is reflected,
such that it is not easy to interfere with the light emitted by the
micro LED of the display apparatus viewed by the user, thereby
enhancing the display effect of the display apparatus. The micro
LED (for example having an area less than 100 microns square or
having an area small enough that it is not visible to an unaided
observer of the display at a designed viewing distance) is
known.
[0011] In order to make the aforementioned features and advantages
of the disclosure more comprehensible, embodiments accompanying
figures are described in detail below.

In the embodiment, the plurality of sub-pixel regions 110b in the
same pixel region 110a may exhibit different colors (e.g. color of
red, green and blue). Via color-mixing in the plurality of
sub-pixel regions 110b in the same pixel region 110a, the same
pixel region 110a can exhibit a designated color, which enables the
display apparatus 100 to display a colored frame, which should not
be construed as a limitation the disclosure. It depends on actual
requirement to determine whether or not the plurality of sub-pixel
regions 110b in the same pixel region 110a need to exhibit
different colors respectively.
[0034] The plurality of active elements T are disposed on the
substrate 110. The plurality of first signal lines 120 and the
plurality of second signal lines 130 are disposed on the substrate
110 and electrically connected to the plurality of active elements
T. An extension direction D1 of each first signal line 120 is
different from an extension direction D2 of each second signal line
130. In the embodiment, the first signal line 120 and second signal
line 130 may respectively belong to different film layers, and the
first signal line 120 and the second signal line 130 may be
arranged to cross each other. The active element T includes a thin
film transistor. The thin film transistor has a gate, a source and
a drain. In the embodiment, the first signal line 120 may be
electrically connected with the source of the thin film transistor.
The second signal line 130 may be electrically connected with the
gate of the thin film transistor. In other words, in the
embodiment, the first signal line 120 may be a data line, and the
second signal line 130 may be a scan line, which should not be
construed as a limitation to the disclosure.
[0035] The plurality of ground signal lines 140 are disposed on the
substrate 110 and arranged to be alternated with the first signal
line 120. Each ground signal line 140 is disposed between two first
signal lines 120 adjacent to each other. In the embodiment, the
first signal line 120, the second signal line 130 and the ground
signal line 140 may respectively belong to three different film
layers. An orthogonal projection of each ground signal line 140 on
the substrate 110 is between two orthogonal projections of two
first signal lines 120 adjacent to each other on the substrate 110.
In the embodiment, the display apparatus 100 may further include a
plurality of storage capacitors 160. Each storage capacitor 160 is
electrically connected with a corresponding active element T
respectively.
[0036] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an LED according to an
embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the
plurality of LEDs 150 are disposed on the substrate 110. Each LED
150 has a first electrode 152 and a second electrode 154. The first
electrode 152 of each LED 150 is electrically connected with a
corresponding active element T. The second electrode 154 of each
LED 150 is electrically connected with a corresponding ground
signal line 140. Referring to FIG. 2, the LED 150 includes a first
semiconductor structure 156 electrically connected with the first
electrode 152, a second semiconductor structure 158 electrically
connected with the second electrode 154 and a light emitting layer
159 disposed between the first semiconductor structure 156 and the
second semiconductor structure 158. The first semiconductor
structure 156, the second semiconductor structure 158 and the light
emitting layer 159 may be regarded as a semiconductor structure S
as a whole. In the embodiment, the first electrode 152 and the
second electrode 154 may be disposed on the same side of the
semiconductor structure S. In other words, the LED 150 may be a
horizontal LED which is electrically connected with the
corresponding active element T and ground signal line 140 in the

signal lines 120 adjacent to each other. In other words, in the
embodiment, the two LEDs 150 which are respectively disposed in two
sub-pixel regions 110b adjacent to each other may share the same
ground signal line 140. Thus, the number of required ground signal
line 140 can be reduced, so that the display apparatus 100 having
high resolution can be realized accordingly.
[0038] As shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment, the plurality of LEDs
150 disposed in the same pixel region 110a and electrically
connected with the same ground signal line 140 may be disposed

efficiently so that the resolution of the display apparatus 100 can
be further enhanced.
[0039] FIG. 3 is a top view of a display apparatus according to
another embodiment of the disclosure. A display apparatus 100A in

and the fourth second signal line 130A counted from the left side
of FIG. 3). Each pixel region 110a includes the plurality of
sub-pixel regions 110b. Each sub-pixel region 110b may be defined
by two first signal lines 120A adjacent to each other and two
second signal lines 130A adjacent to each other, which should not

signal line 140 are in contact with each other and formed in the
same semiconductor layer. In other words, the plurality of LEDs 172
electrically connected with the same ground signal line 140 are the
same LED chip 170. The plurality of LEDs 172 electrically connected
with the same ground signal line 140 are a plurality of portions of

belong to different LED chips 170 in the same sub-pixel region 110b
may be electrically connected to the same active element T in the
same sub-pixel region 110b. With such configuration, when one of
the plurality of LEDs 172 disposed in the same sub-pixel region
110b is damaged, another LED 172 may still operate normally such
that the display apparatus 100E can continue to serve normal
display function.

[0064] FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a display apparatus
according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 14 is a top view
of a sub-pixel region of a display apparatus according to an

to FIGS. 13 and 14, a display apparatus 200 includes a substrate
210, a plurality of LEDs 220, a first insulation layer 230 and an
anti-reflection conductive layer 240. The substrate 210 has a
plurality of sub-pixel regions 210a and a plurality of reflective
structures disposed in the plurality of sub-pixel regions 210a. In
the embodiment, the substrate 210 has the plurality of active
elements T, the plurality of data lines DL, the plurality of scan
lines SL and a capacitor electrode 212. The active element T is
disposed in the sub-pixel region 210a. The active element T
includes the thin film transistor. The thin film transistor has the
gate, source and drain. The scan line SL is electrically connected
with the gate of the thin film transistor. The data line DL is
electrically connected with the source of the thin film transistor.
The capacitor electrode 212 is electrically connected with the
drain of the thin film transistor. The capacitor electrode 212
overlaps the anti-reflection conductive layer 240 to form a storage
capacitor. In the embodiment, a reflective structure of the
substrate 210 may include the active element T, data line DL, scan
line SL, capacitor electrode 212 or a combination thereof, which
should not be construed as a limitation to the disclosure. In other
embodiments, the reflective structure of the substrate 210 may also
refer to other components that have reflective characteristic or a
combination of other components and at least one of the active
element T, data line DL, scan line SL and capacitor electrode
212.
[0065] The plurality of LEDs 220 are disposed on the plurality of
sub-pixel regions 210a and electrically connected with the
substrate 210. In the embodiment, each LED 220 includes a first
semiconductor layer 222, a second semiconductor layer 224, a light
emitting layer 226 disposed between the first semiconductor layer
222 and the second semiconductor layer 224 and a transparent
electrode 228. The transparent electrode 228 is disposed on the
second semiconductor layer 224 and electrically connected with the
second semiconductor layer 224. The light emitting layer 226
defines a light emitting region 220a of the LED 220. The first
semiconductor layer 222 is electrically connected with the active
element T. Specifically, the first semiconductor layer 222 may be
electrically connected with the drain of the thin film transistor.
In the embodiment, the LED 220 may selectively include a contact
pad 229 disposed on the transparent electrode 228, which should not
be construed as a limitation to the disclosure. In other
embodiments, the LED 220 may be provided without the contact pad
229.
[0066] The first insulation layer 230 is filled between the LED
220. To be more specific, in the embodiment, the first insulation
layer 230 may cover a side wall of the LED 220 and expose the
transparent electrode 228 of the LED 220. The display apparatus 200
may further include a light blocking structure 250. The light
blocking structure 250 is configured to prevent that the light
emitted from the plurality of LEDs 220 disposed in different
sub-pixel regions 210a from interfering with each other. In the
embodiment, the light blocking structure 250 is disposed on the
active device substrate 210 and may selectively overlap the scan
line SL and data line DL, which should not be construed as a
limitation to the disclosure. In other embodiments, the light
blocking structure 250 may directly cover the side wall of the LED
220 or may be disposed in another suitable position.
[0067] The anti-reflection conductive layer 240 is disposed on the
first insulation layer 230. The anti-reflection conductive layer
240 has a plurality of openings 242. The opening 242 exposes the
light emitting region 220a of the LED 220. The light emitted from
the LED 220 may be transmitted to the user's eyes by passing
through the anti-reflection conductive layer 240 via the opening
242 to achieve the display effect. The anti-reflection conductive
layer 240 blocks the reflective structure of the substrate 210. For
example, in the embodiment, the anti-reflection conductive layer
240 may block at least a portion of the region of the capacitor
electrode 212 outside the LED 220, the active element T, data line
DL and scan line SL, which should not be construed as a limitation
to the disclosure. The reflectivity of the anti-reflection
conductive layer 240 is lower than the reflectivity of each
reflective structure (e.g. capacitor electrode 212, active element
T, data line DL, scan line SL or a combination thereof). In the
embodiment, the material of the reflective structure of the active
device substrate 210 is, for example, a metal having high
reflectivity. The anti-reflection conductive layer 240 may be a
composite layer having low reflectivity such as a stacked layer
comprising at least two of chromium, chromium nitride and chromium
oxide or a stacked layer comprising aluminum alloy and AlX--N. The
afore-mentioned AlX--N is aluminum nitride or aluminum alloy
nitride, which should not be construed as a limitation to the
disclosure. The appearance of the anti-reflection conductive layer
240 may be similar to a darkened metal which does not reflect light
easily.
[0068] It should be noted that since the anti-reflection conductive
layer 240 blocks the reflective structure of the substrate 210,
most of the light from the outer environment irradiating the
display apparatus 200 is blocked by the anti-reflection conductive
layer 240 and cannot be easily reflected by the reflective
structure of the substrate 210 having high reflectivity. As a
result, little amount of light from the outer environment is
reflected, and it is not easy to interfere the light emitted by the
LED 220 viewed by the user; therefore, the display effect of the
display apparatus 200 can be enhanced.
[0069] In the embodiment, the anti-reflection conductive layer 240
may selectively not to cover an edge 228a of the transparent
electrode 228 of the display apparatus 200, such that most of the
light emitted by the LED 220 can pass through the anti-reflection
conductive layer 240 for display function, which should not be
construed as a limitation to the disclosure. In other embodiments,
the anti-reflection conductive layer 240 may cover the edge 228a of
the transparent electrode 228.
[0070] In the embodiment, the display apparatus 200 may further
include a transparent conductive layer 260. The transparent
conductive layer 260 is disposed on the first insulation layer 230,
covers the sub-pixel region 210a and electrically connected with
the plurality of transparent electrodes 228 of the plurality of
LEDs 220. Specifically, in the embodiment, the opening 242 of the
anti-reflection conductive layer 240 exposes the transparent
electrode 228 of the LED 220. The transparent conductive layer 260
covers the anti-reflection conductive layer 240 and is filled in
the opening 242 of the anti-reflection conductive layer 240 to be
electrically connected with the plurality of transparent electrodes
228 of the plurality of LEDs 220. Briefly, in the embodiment, the
anti-reflection conductive layer 240 may selectively not to be
electrically in contact with the transparent electrode 228
directly, and the plurality of transparent electrodes 228 of the
plurality of display apparatus 200 may be electrically connected
with each other via the transparent conductive layer 260.
[0071] It should be noted that the transparent conductive layer 260
covers the anti-reflection conductive layer 240 and is electrically
connected with the anti-reflection conductive layer 240. In
addition, the conductivity of the anti-reflection conductive layer
240 is higher than the conductivity of the transparent conductive
layer 260. As compared with a single transparent conductive layer,
the ground signal line (i.e. the stacked layer comprising
anti-reflection conductive layer 240 and transparent conductive
layer 260) shared by the plurality of LEDs 220 has a low resistance
and helps to enhance electrical performance of the display
apparatus 200, however, the disclosure provides no limitation
thereto. In other embodiments, the anti-reflection conductive layer
240 may be adopted to be electrically connected with the plurality
of transparent electrodes 228 of the plurality of display apparatus
200 directly without disposing the transparent conductive layer
260. Detailed embodiments are provided below with illustration of
accompanying drawings.
[0072] Referring to FIG. 13, in the embodiment, the anti-reflection
conductive layer 240 may slightly block an edge region of the light
emitting layer 226. The light emitting layer 226 of the LED 220 has
a width L1 in a direction x. An opening 242 of the anti-reflection
conductive layer 240 corresponding to the light emitting layer 226
has a width L2 in the direction x. The width L2 may be greater than
a half of the width L1. The width L1 of the light emitting layer
226 is, for example, between 0.5 .mu.m to 500 .mu.m, which should
not be construed as a limitation to the disclosure. It depends on
actual requirement to determine whether or not the anti-reflection
conductive layer 240 is set to block the light emitting layer 226,
the relationship between the width L2 and width L1 (alternatively,
how much portion of the light emitting layer 226 is blocked by the
anti-reflection conductive layer 240), and specific values of the
width L2 and width L1.
[0073] FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of a display apparatus
according to another embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 16 is a top
view of a sub-pixel region of a display apparatus according to yet
another embodiment of the disclosure. For clarity of illustration,

Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, a display apparatus 200A is similar

T, data line DL, scan line SL, or a combination thereof) of the
substrate 210. The anti-reflection conductive layer 240A blocks the
reflective structure of the substrate 210 and has the plurality of
openings 242. The opening 242 exposes the light emitting region
220a of the LED 220.
[0074] Different from the display apparatus 200, in the embodiment,
the plurality of transparent electrodes 228 of the plurality of
LEDs 220 are electrically connected with each other directly via
the anti-reflection conductive layer 240A without configuration of
the transparent conductive layer 260. For example, the
anti-reflection conductive layer 240A includes a body portion 244
and an extension portion 246 connected with the body portion. The
extension portion 246 is disposed on the transparent electrode 228
of each LED 220 and electrically connected with the transparent

plurality of transparent electrodes 228 of the plurality of LEDs

Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, the display apparatus 200B includes
the substrate 210, the plurality of LEDs 220, the first insulation
layer 230 and an anti-reflection conductive layer 240B. The

structure of the substrate 210 and has the plurality of openings

[0076] Different from the display apparatus 200A, in the
embodiment, the anti-reflection conductive layer 240B includes a
plurality of mesh structures 246B having the opening 242. Each mesh
structure 246B overlaps a corresponding LED 220. The display
apparatus 200B uses the mesh structure 246B of the anti-reflection
conductive layer 240B to replace the function of the extension
portion 246 of the display apparatus 200A. Specifically, the
anti-reflection conductive layer 240B includes the body portion 244
and the mesh structure 246B connected with the body portion 244.
The mesh structure 246B is disposed on the transparent electrode
228 of each LED 220 and electrically connected with the transparent

structure 246B disposed thereon and the body portion 244. The mesh
structure 246B of the anti-reflection conductive layer 240B has a
plurality of light transmission holes so as not to excessively
block the light emitting region 210a of the LEDs 220. The display
apparatus 200B has similar effect and advantage as the display

according to yet another embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 20 is a
top view of a sub-pixel region of a display apparatus of yet
another embodiment of the disclosure. For clarity of illustration,
the light blocking structure 250 in FIG. 19 is omitted in FIG. 20.
Referring to FIGS. 19 and 20, a display apparatus 200C is similar
to the display apparatus 200; therefore, identical or corresponding
components are denoted by identical or corresponding reference
numerals. Referring to FIGS. 19 and 20, the display apparatus 200C
includes the substrate 210, a plurality of LEDs 220C, a first
insulation layer 230 and an anti-reflection conductive layer 240.
The substrate 210 has the plurality of sub-pixel regions 210a and

and electrically connected with the substrate 210. The first
insulation layer 230 is filled between the LED 220C. The

insulation layer 230. The reflectivity of the anti-reflection
conductive layer 240 is lower than the reflectivity of the
reflective structure (e.g. capacitor electrode 212, active element
T, data line DL, scan line SL or a combination thereof) of the
substrate 210. The anti-reflection conductive layer 240 blocks the
reflective structure of the substrate 210 and has the plurality of
openings 242. The opening 242 exposes the light emitting region
220a of the LED 220.
[0078] Different from the display apparatus 200, in the embodiment,
the LED 220C may be provided without the contact pad 229 of the LED
220 such that more light can be transmitted to the user's eyes so
as to enhance the brightness of the display apparatus 200C. In the
meantime, the display apparatus 200C has similar effect and
advantage as the display apparatus 200; no repetition is

[0079] FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view of a display apparatus
according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIGS. 20
and 21, a display apparatus 200D is similar to the display
apparatus 200C; therefore, identical or corresponding components
are denoted by identical or corresponding reference numerals.
Referring to FIG. 21, the display apparatus 200D includes the
substrate 210, the plurality of LEDs 220C, the first insulation
layer 230 and an anti-reflection conductive layer 240D. The
substrate 210 has the plurality of sub-pixel regions 210a and the
plurality of reflective structures disposed in the sub-pixel region
210a. The LED 220C is disposed on the sub-pixel region 210a and
electrically connected with the substrate 210. The first insulation
layer 230 is filled between the LEDs 220C. The anti-reflection
conductive layer 240D is disposed on the first insulation layer
230. The reflectivity of the anti-reflection conductive layer 240D
is lower than the reflectivity of the reflective structure (e.g.

SL or a combination thereof) of the substrate 210. The
anti-reflection conductive layer 240D blocks the reflective
structure of the substrate 210 and has the plurality of openings
242. The opening 242 exposes the light emitting region 220a of the
LED 220C.
[0080] Different from the display apparatus 200C, in the
embodiment, a transparent conductive layer 260D covers the first
insulation layer 230 and the transparent electrode 228 of the LED
220C, and the anti-reflection conductive layer 240D is disposed on
the transparent conductive layer 260D. In other words, in the
embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 260D is used to be
electrically connected with the plurality of LEDs 220C first;
thereafter, the anti-reflection conductive layer 240D is disposed
on the transparent conductive layer 260D and electrically connected
with the transparent conductive layer 260D. The display apparatus
200D has similar effect and advantage as the display apparatus 200;
no repetition is incorporated herein.
[0081] In summary of the above, in the display apparatus according
to an embodiment of the disclosure, at least two LEDs disposed in
the same pixel region are electrically connected with the same
ground signal line between two first signal lines adjacent to each
other. Accordingly, the area of the substrate of the display
apparatus can be used efficiently so that the resolution of the
display apparatus can be enhanced.
[0082] In another embodiment of the disclosure, the display
apparatus includes the anti-reflection conductive layer. The
reflectivity of the anti-reflection conductive layer is lower than
the reflectivity of the reflective structure of the active device
substrate of the display apparatus. The anti-reflection conductive
layer blocks the reflective structure of the substrate. Since the
anti-reflection conductive layer blocks the reflective structure of
the substrate, most of the light from the outer environment
irradiating the display apparatus is blocked by the anti-reflection
conductive layer and cannot be easily reflected by the reflective
structure of the substrate having high reflectivity. As a result,
little amount of light from the outer environment is reflected, and
it is not easy to interfere with the light emitted by the LED of
the display apparatus viewed by the user, such that the display
effect of the display apparatus can be enhanced.
[0083] Although the disclosure has been disclosed by the above
embodiments, the embodiments are not intended to limit the
disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that
various modifications and variations can be made to the structure
of the disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the
disclosure. Therefore, the protecting range of the disclosure falls
in the appended claims.
